2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport vs 2016 RDX
Anyone considering this cross shop?

Though something tells me at the end of the day, I will circle back to the 2016 RDX as I've done a couple of times already...

If you cross shop Lexus with Acura ... you are more likely to end up with Acura.
If you cross shop Lexus with Germans/ Euro / American luxury cars, then you end up with Lexus (Acura won't be on your radar at that time)
If you cross shop only German cars, then you buy German .

I'm actually cross shopping the new LR Discovery Sport to the 2015 RDX. While I really like the looks of the DS, I'm concerned about the long term maintenance costs and I'm not a Turbo engine fan. The RDX is probably the safer bet although either of the two vehicle will be a 180 mile trip for Maintenance/warranty work. The RDX is packaged right for me and I like the V6. We put a lot of miles on our vehicles, (117K on 4.5 year old Highlander presently). Hope to make a purchase before the H/L hits 125K when ex-warranty drops.

I agree the DS is a great looking ride. Love the upscale outdoorsy combination. However, the reliability is subject while it's a strong point for the RDX. Plus, I don't think I pull the trigger on a 40K+ car with a moonroof that doesn't open.

yeah, the fixed moonroof is my biggest qualm with the LR....but the non-pano option on the RDX is also a let down. for some reason, the pano roof is top five on my priority list, with the ability to adjust so there is still partial shade for just the rear. the edge has that capability.
also, the disco most likely will not lease well.
here is the edge in black/tobacco
